Where Glaciers Touch the Sky: An Alaska Wellness Escape
Alaska is not just a destination, it is a reset. Wide open spaces, fresh air, and soul-shaking beauty come together into one of the great wellness escapes. Whether you are craving solitude in nature or adrenaline in the elements, Alaska delivers. For the full lay of the land, start with my insider’s guide to Alaska.
Why your spirit needs it
Nature heals. Towering glaciers, untouched forests, and crisp, clean air invite you to unplug and reconnect, with the earth and with yourself.
Choose your pace. Glide through fjords by kayak, soak in the quiet of a wilderness lodge, or take to the skies for a mountaintop yoga moment. Here, wellness meets wonder on your terms.
Cultural connection. Explore Indigenous heritage centers, gold rush towns, and local traditions that deepen your sense of the land and your place in it.
Where to stay
Stillpoint Lodge. A peaceful, all-inclusive eco-lodge across the bay from Homer, with cozy private cabins, chef-prepared meals, and days spent kayaking, fishing, or simply breathing. A true escape into nature.
Alyeska Resort, Girdwood. About an hour from Anchorage, this full-service, year-round resort pairs easy access to adventure with an upscale touch. Ski in winter or take glacier tours in summer, then come back to spacious rooms, a saltwater pool, and mountaintop dining.
Sheldon Chalet. Set on a remote glacier deep in Denali’s backcountry, this five-room chalet is one of Alaska’s most exclusive stays. Equal parts adventure and luxury, with front-row Denali views, private glacier treks, and helicopter-accessed excursions, all fully hosted and beautifully curated.
The Hotel Captain Cook, Anchorage. A comfortable, classic downtown base with great views of the mountains, inlet, and skyline. Locally owned, with several dining options, it makes an easy place to begin or end an Alaska journey.
